The year 5695 תרצ״ה

5695 in the Jewish calendar is written ה׳תרצ״ה — the ה is the 5,000 years, and the letters after it are the 695 since. Written on its own, as it is on nearly every page that carries a date, the year is תרצ״ה, and those letters add to 695.

The letters, and what each is worth

ת400ר200צ90ה5תרצ״ה695

400 + 200 + 90 + 5 = 695, computed by the same engine that computes every value on this site, over the same consonantal letters.

Why the five thousand is missing

The full form is ה׳תרצ״ה: the first letter carries the 5,000. In ordinary use it is left off and the year is written תרצ״ה followed by לפ״ק — lifrat katan, “by the minor reckoning”, which is the writer saying out loud that the thousands have been dropped. It is a habit of writing and not a claim about the number: the year is 5,695, and 695 is what its letters spell.
